Re: 2g to 0g
Generally its a month between stretches, but sence that is the first stretch thats more than 1mm, I would say wait longer than a month, maybe 2 months, or buy some 1g stuff and stretch up to that.

Re: 2g to 0g
Actually you'll be better off leaving at least 6-8 weeks between sizes rather than a month, or just until you can put the next size in without pain or a lot of resistance.
Going to 1G between the two sizes is your best bet. I know it's hard to find jewelry but it is out there and it makes the stretch soooo much easier. If you can't get 1G jewelry, try taping very gradually. I definitely don't recommend doing the 2G-0G stretch all at once unless you've been at 2G for a LONG time, have been wearing double-flare/heavy plugs, etc.

I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!

Re: 2g to 0g
I would definitely follow Lindsay's advice. Take it from someone who has done the 2g-0g jump without going to 1g. It was tough stretch even after waiting ages. I did so with caution and tried several time over a period of 3 months after waiting 8 weeks after going to 2g. It took 3 months for no pain or resistance. I would seriously get some 1g stuff or gradually tape my way there.

Re: 2g to 0g
I had my 2g in for several months and had no luck getting the 0 gauge taper in. I even tried heavy plugs to weigh down my lobe and still no luck. Taping it worked so well for me. I taped mine once a week until I achieved the size I wanted : )good luck!
